Okay. Those are hilarious. Too bad American advertisers don't use that kind of talent. I can't even understand the point of most of it anymore.

I particularly liked Spermsavers and the Sauna. I really did LOL.

Ok guys so here are the pictures, I don't think they will help but here they are. Wiped down the bottom and went around the block and it didn't leak as much. I think it happens under heavy riding. I did see that the left side header has a lot of oil on it. I think the leak is on the shifter side so might go and replace the gasket there. What brand gasket is best? Do I need to drain all the oil to do this?

Picture2. Left crankcase cover showing leak at the bottom near the gasket. The header here has heavy amount of oil. Maybe replace gasket? What's a good gasket as I've heard of end eritr ones out there.

You will need to drain the oil if you remove the left side cover, you do not need to drain the oil for the right side that's the kickstart cover.

If you do not have the Bill Silvers CD's or Book's they are a MUST have infact they are the bible for the early Honda CB/CL ect bikes you can do a complete strip down using them I have.
